This is a reprint of Titus Lucretius Carus's De Rerum Natura Libri VI, edited by G.A. Volpi. Lucretius, a Roman poet and philosopher of the first century BCE, presents a comprehensive exposition of Epicurean philosophy in his only known work. De Rerum Natura (On the Nature of Things) explores the physical theories of Epicurus, including atomism, materialism, and the explanation of natural phenomena without recourse to divine intervention. Written in dactylic hexameter, the poem addresses a wide range of subjects, from the nature of the universe and the human mind to ethics and the fear of death. This edition offers readers access to a foundational text in the history of science and philosophy, capturing Lucretius's profound insights into the workings of the natural world and the human condition. Its enduring appeal lies in its elegant verse and its timeless exploration of fundamental questions about existence and the pursuit of happiness.
